company, says there is not leak in the whole
five and onc-llalf miles of pipe. The work
has been well done. Thonaston must feel

THERE are many who think the
managing stockholders of the
White Oaks Academy have been
very slow-indeed some think the
educational structure should have
been readyftor occupancy by this
time. They little think of the
time essential to secnre n proper
site, and then to be possessed of
legal title therefor. The Associa-
ton have now secured "A pictur-
esque site on the eminence in the
centre, and on the north side of
town, with it's eastern corner Dor
dcring on Pine Street, but 1t was
not until this week, that all ne
cessary title bapers were conveyed
The site is one of two acres, or
about APO feet square. This is a
hard year for gruinblers, and we
trust each succeeding one will be
worse still.

TnE girls here are Wild to know
how best to employ their evenings
the present fall and coming win
ter. During our late trip, we
struck one OF our old towns where
the same craze was epidemic.
They (the girls,) had made II ex-
pertinent, which we cannot refrain
from exposing, inasmuch AS the
dear creatures cannot reach our
hair. They introduced a game
which they facetiously called hard
times" the principal feature Of
which is the calling in of the un-
initiated one by one and mimick-
ing them in everything they say
and do. OF course it makes the
victim feel very foolish and it is
some time, usually, before the VIC
tim tumbles to the fact that the
point of the game, which he is
looking tor don't exist, and that he
is simply being made sport of. AT
the party in question the initiated
were mostly girls-some of them
prim and prudish and some of
themlhearty and giggly. After do.
ingup several victims a youngfellow
who didn't understand the game,
but who was anything but green,
was called IN. lie was mystitied
for a moment, as the girls pro-
ceeded to initiate his actions, but
he was suddenly seized with an
idea and walked across the room
to a chair. The girls each
walked to a char, and watching
him with arch and eBgcr expect
ancy, prepared to duplicate his
next act. But they didn't. He
placed his foot on the chair, and
pulling a match quickly from his
pocket, ignited it by drawing it
skillfully and vigorously across the
seat OF his pants! Some of the
girls we're shocked, some of them
glggled, and all of them blushed ;
but they united in telling the
yeung man that they guessed he
knew the game and that he could
be excused.
We only publish tins as a point
er to our girls not so introduce
"'hard times" as a diversion in
White Oaks this winter.

time will never efface. She leaves
two infant children who will never

The interview with Representative McCreary,
published In Wednesdays STAR, shows how a
man Of plain, practical sense, as distinguished
from q mere sentimentalist, regards the project
for great International celebration, at washing
con, OF the adoption OF the Constitution and the
landing OF Columbus. To his mind, the cultiva-
ZION OF closer relations with the republics OF the
western Hemisphere south OF US stands next TO
the tariff question in importance TO our govern
ment and people. This Importance Is both diplo-
matte and commercial A great deal OF the bick-
eriny and jealousy which now disturbs our SOUTH
ern relations would be got rid OF. with saving in
expense and annoyance, II our republic and its
younger sisters understood each other better: and
the cultivation OF terms OF friendship which would
open their markets freely to our products would
about double the number OF outside consumers TO
whose wants we minister. It may be asked in
what way the holding OF q celebration can further
such ends. The same question was raised when
Philadelphia appealed for aid TO her worlds fair
project OF 1876, and yet no one need be reminded
OF the value OF the Centennial exhibition 10 our
whole people. We have not ceased TO feel the ef
feet Of 10 10 this day and far on countries where
the United states dozen years ago. were known

sewing and knitting machines. our calicoes,

then confined 70 amuch narrower sphere. In like
manner the exhibits OF other countries made
their impress upon our own civilization.
Our country has taken fresh start ahead in all
branches OF domestic art since the great Philadel-
phla show; and this has acted not more as a slim
ulus 70 importation than In the way OF incentive
and suggestion 20 oar American manufacturers,
who have since been turning US out Injuries pre-
viously unknown, and thereby contributing to the
general comfort Of living in our part Of the world
What happened at Philadelphia may be counted
on To happen again In Washington, II the constl-
tutional celebration Is properly conducted. In
deed It's effects are liable TO be even more gener-
Gus: for the closer intimacy with other peoples
which Is expected to be one Of its results Will
not AFFECT so much the nations that
are our natural rivals as those whose present and
future interests are all bound up with ours, and
whose development will call into play all those
agencies which our shrewdness has devised and
our experience tested
BY all means let US have the conference Mr.
McCreary calls for in his BILL combined with the
celebration which he approves In his conversation
In the Senate the committee having jurisdiction

eye upon the project, and 10 Is TO be hoped that
